Thanks forum....a long overdue note of gratitude

Hope · Post by **Hope** » Thu Dec 25, 2008 2:55 pm

It's been a long time since posting on the forum. Not because I've lost interest, or need. Only because it's not often I'm so motivated. Today however, it is past time to say to all, Merry Christmas and have a wonderful and bright New Year.

The forum, and those who insure it keeps on running, has meant a great deal to a number of us. From early in my life when I just knew I was the worlds only one to today when I realize I am who I am, and who I am turns out to be not too bad. Perhaps it is a result of my penchant for realizing the sensations of feminine pastimtes, or maybe it's just who I am. In any case, I've finally come to realize that who I am is unchangable. I didn't want to be a crossdresser. I've felt stupid, repugnant, gross, and of course have purged more times than I care to remember. But I also realized I try always to be kind, helpful, and caring. Feminine traits perhaps? Perhaps just good traits... Maybe because I have felt my own traits were faults, I have tried to compensate outwardly to 'make ammends' to humanity. Whatever the reason, I am who I am.

Thanks to the love and support of my wife, I've come to understand more about myself, my likes, my strengths and weaknesses. Thanks to the forum and it's participants, I've come to know we are all sharing something we all love, and hate. But like having a nose we don't care for, or acne we don't want, or terrible eyesight, it is what it is and isn't going to change. Accept it for what it is, focus on the good things that come from it.

Thanks forum, and all who make it what it is. May God bless us all, and may be be wise enough to understand the blessings we receive.

Hope

Hi Hope,

What a wonderful post, I myself have come a long long ways because of the people who are here. I have seen people come and go and a few like myself have no other like people to talk with who understand and go out of their way to help.

As long as I live and as long as this forum is around Carol will be here.

Hope:
With out the assistance of eveyone here, I doubt that I would have developed as I have.

Hope, your post really rang a bell with me. I have not been here very long, but I think I accept myself more now than ever before. The girls who keep this site going deserve our eternal gratitude.
